I Wish I Could Die

I Wish I Could Die-Gene Campbell
C position, standard tuning

I woke up this morning, wished that I could die
I woke up this morning, wished that I could die
The woman I love left me, and didn't even say goodbye

Every time I think of her I can't hardly keep from cryin'
Every time I think of her I can't hardly keep from cryin'
I love that woman, she's forever on my mind

If you ain't got but one woman, you'd better get you two
If you ain't got but one woman, you'd better get you two
So if one go and leave you, you know just what to do

I b'lieve she was a good woman, I'll believe it 'til I die
I b'lieve she was a good woman, I believe it 'til I die
But she went away and left me and she didn't even say goodbye

When I had you, baby, I would not treat you right
When I had you, baby, I would not treat you right
Now I got to get another woman, or sleep by myself tonight

When I find a good woman, I'll treat her right 'til I die
When I find a good woman, I'll treat her right 'til I die
I don't want her to go and leave me, and don't even say goodbye
